Mehandipur Balaji Temple is a noted Hindu temple, located in Dausa district of Rajasthan, dedicated to the Hindu God Hanuman. Balaji is a name of a Hindu God who is also known as Hanuman, the monkey god who was an avid follower of the god Rama in the Ramayana epic.

The significance of the Temple

Once you step into the temple, the outside world seems to be totally shut down. The temple is divided into four large halls, and as you step in, you will be greeted with loud shrieks and screams of those who are possessed by evil spirits.

The people suffering from vicious spirits and black magic or spell (popularly known as ‘Sankatwalas’ in local language here) get relief when they make an appeal for it here at the temple from Shri Balaji, Shri Bhairav Ji and Shri Pret Raj Sarkar who holds this court and punishes vicious spirits, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, evil eyed witches, etc.

The ‘Mahant’ (a.k.a Priest) of the temple, advises the treatment. It may consist of reading holy texts, following a strict vegetarian and simple diet, and even beset physical pain to one’s body.

Several ‘Sankatwalas’ go through different physical therapies like keeping heavy stones on their body, on arms, legs, and chest, to ease their pain. Some had to inhale the smoke that fumes out of the sweet Patasa’s kept on smoldering cowpats. Serious cases of spirit possession, where one tends to get violent, are even shackled in chains within the temple premises.

Medical Science and researchers may reject such approach for curing the condition and may call this blind faith, but for the firm worshipers of Balaji, the treatments are something beyond metaphysics.
